In the few blocks near home I’ve photographed Personal Protective Devices in gutters, lanes and roads. I don’t always have my phone handy and sometimes my hands are full, I photographed 28 masks and 4 gloves that caught my eye. Some people do take care of theirs like the people who hang masks from rear-view mirrors. Like everything else, there are always prettier ones to buy.
I thought I was finished with the Gutter Masks blog until I spotted a mask in the middle of the road
A few weeks ago, I saw a headline saying that there are more masks than jellyfish in the oceans. During walks to the store and bank I started to notice them in gutters. I couldn’t find the Guardian link, but Sandra Gregson sent to me on Facebook.
More masks in the gutter than on people’s faces
COVID-19 means spending even more time looking out the window. Sunny day shadows tell time. I photographed them every 3 hours from 9AM to 9PM.
